Who We Are Looking For

Are you a Workday expert who loves turning complex business problems into elegant system solutions? We’re looking for Workday Advisory Consultants to join our team. In this role, you’ll be more than just a configuration expert—you’ll be a trusted partner to our clients, helping them squeeze every drop of value out of their Workday investment.

You’ll lead implementations, mentor junior consultants, and navigate the ever-evolving landscape of Workday with a mix of technical skill and high-level strategy.

Seeking Key Areas: Core HCM + either WD Recruiting or WD Benefits

What You’ll Do

Your days will be a mix of hands-on build and high-level strategy:

• Design & Build: Lead the implementation and configuration of global Workday solutions. You’ll take business requirements from "idea" to "live," ensuring everything is tested and ready for prime time.

• Be a Trusted Advisor: Lead interactive sessions with clients to dig deep into their needs. You won't just take orders; you’ll recommend best practices and propose creative solutions.

• Manage the Big Picture: Prioritize and execute tasks across multiple projects at once. You’ll oversee project scope, quality, and timelines, ensuring we deliver excellence every time.

• Advocate for the Client: Sometimes you'll work alongside other implementation partners. Your job is to be the client’s voice, providing a third-party perspective and making sure their needs are truly met.

• Solve Puzzles: When things don’t go as planned, you’ll dive into the root cause, troubleshoot, and fix it.

• Pay it Forward: Mentor less experienced consultants and contribute your "lessons learned" to our internal knowledge base to help the whole team grow.

Your Qualifications

We’re looking for a seasoned pro who brings the following to the table:

• Workday Experience: You have 4+ years of experience leading Workday implementations, working in Post-Production/AMS, or managing Workday from the client side.

• SME Status: You possess deep expertise in at least one Workday specialty and have advanced knowledge in at least two others.

• Leadership Skills: You’ve led workstreams through the entire project lifecycle and are comfortable managing multiple projects simultaneously.

• Consulting Mindset: You have excellent communication skills (even in remote environments) and can influence diverse audiences to reach a consensus.

• Independence: You can organize your own desk, hit deadlines, and maintain quality standards without someone looking over your shoulder.

• Technical & Tools: You are highly proficient in Microsoft Excel and able to travel occasionally (less than 10% of the year).
